NATIONAL CONVENTION.
Plans for General Gathering of Repub.
licans-The Club Movement General all
Over the Country.
NEW YORK. Aug. 20.

NEW oRK. Aug ~.
A local reporter learned yesterday that the
suggestions for a national convention of the
republican clubs have crystallized into def :
mite plans. 1t has been decided that such a
gathering shall be had shortly after the tall
elections, for the purpose of discussing the
plans and the platform for next years cam
paign.
All but three clubs favored New York as
the place for holding the convention, and it
therefore will be held there, probably in the
Academy of Music.
In talk with Mr.. Henry Gleason, secre-
tary of the special committee on the subject,
appointed by the New York republican club,
the fact was developed that already there are
assurances of an attendance of from eight
hundred to one Thousand delegates, repre-
senting over two hundred clubs.
Among the delegates will be prominent
judges, lawyers and business men, a number
of whom have been chosen in the last few
DAYS. The republican league OF Ohio, which
has taken particularly active interest in the
movement, has just selected four delegates
and four alternates.
81 am fairly surprised at the unsnimity of
sentiment and enthusiasm of the movement"
said Mr.. Gleason. "The realization of the
advantages to be derived in the campaign
from club organization is particularly graft
tying. In these clubs republicans become
better acquainted with each other; complete
poll lists can be made out; men can be sought
and brought out to the primaries who have
never attended such gathering; greater
number of young men can be interested in
politics. and better men can be put in the
Offices"
So important has become this club move
ment that it is now suggested as an aid to the
work of organization, that the republican
committee of New York be communicated
with on the subject of adding plank to the
platform to be adopted by this falls conven-
ton, calling for an even more general club
organization, and stating the advantages to
be derived therefrom.

VESSEL INSPECTED.
The Fire in the Hold of the Schooner
Oregon, Caused by Burning Lime, Ex.
tinguished.
PORTLAND, Aug. 30.

PORTLAND, Aug. 80.
The schooner Oregon, which arrived ten
days ago from Rockland, with cargo of lime
on fire, was opened Monday morning.
The schooner has been lying at Long
wharf, back of Hanrahan & Spanning's lime
storehouse, since her arrival, with every
opening to her hold carefully sealed to pre-.
vent ingress of air. A thick layer of plaster
was spread over the seams in her planking,
both fore and aft, the companionway and
matches were secured likewise and the sky
light, pump well and rudder casing were
treated to thick coating of the same mate
rial.
So far as possible the vessel was made per-
fectly air tight, and was watched carefully to
guard against accident. The heat of the
burning cargo, which could be plainly felt bv
placing ones hand on the vessels deck, very
noticeably decreased from day to day, until
at last none could be felt and the fire was
thought to be quenched.
When the hatch was opened, Monday
morning. this was found to be the case, no
smoke arising from the hold where the hatch
was lighted and the fire being completely out.
An examination of the cargo, so far as could
be made by going down into the hold, was
made.
The matches were then replaced awaiting
orders from the Lime Dealers Mutual Insur-
ance Company of Rockland, in whose charge
the cargo now rests. The examination shows
that the cargo is badly damaged
Of the seven hundred barrels of lime taken
aboard at Rockland, thirty-one of which were
broken out from the top of the hold immedi.
ately on arrival here, it is believed that not
more than fifty additional barrels will come
out whole.
The rest of the cargo will have to be shov.
eled out in bulk. the barrels being so shrunk-
en- by the heat that they have fallen to pieces.
The thirty barrels already out are black
ened by the smoke and heat and the contents
slightly damaged.
The fire is supposed to have caught from
hilge water, that in the heavy seas and roll
ing of the vessel, washed over the top of the
schooner's sheathing into her hold. There
is probably no damage to the vessel.

AGAINST GEORGE.
The Candidate of the New York Social
ists-A Lively Campaign in New York
This Fall.
NEW YORK. Aug. %

New YORK, Aug. 90.
1t can positively be said that the Socialists
of New York will nominate State ticket at
their conference to be held in New York
Sunday next, and that John Swinton will be
nominated in opposition to Henry George for
secretary of State.
Ii Swinton accepts the nomination, and it is
claimed that he has already expressed his
willingness to do so, it will be the liveliest
campaign that New York has seen for many
years. SwiHton has many grievances to lay
to the door of George, and those who are in
his confidence are of the opinion that moth.
ing would please him better than to seek
satisfaction for his wrongs.
1t was Georges Standard that caused the
suspension of John Swinton's paper.
One of the Socialists said last night: alt
has not been definitely settled yet whether we
shall make our fight through John Swinton
against Henry George alone or select candi-
dates for the remaining places on the State
ticket. We have no personal feeling against
the other nominees on the United Labor
ticket. l hold that we would stand better
show by fighting George individually, but
many of my associates are of contrary
opinion"
Before the opening of the meeting of the
American Socialists at 16 Clinton Place last
night, there was a lively discussion over the
coming nomination of Swinton for secretary
of State.
Many women are members of the club.
among them Mrs. Cynthia Leonard mother of
Lillian Russell, the actress.
One of the women, with proud smile, told
d reporter last night, that Lillian herself
would join the Socialists and retire from the
stage.
"Oh. its lovely to be Socialist" she said.
"We have such lovely discussions. l think
every woman should become member"
The Socialist agreed that the nomination
of swinton would be great stroke of policy
on their part.

COLOROW'S CAMP
Attacked by a Body OF Colorado Militia
and Cowboys under Major Leslie, and
Five Whites Killed and Several indians
Killed and Wounded.


WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.
Lieut.. Burnett of the Ninth Cavalry, was
sent with twelve troopers, at the request of
Col. Byrnes, Indian agent at Fort Duche.
nesse, 10 the border of the Ute reservation to
prevent an invasion of the reservation BY the
Colorado militia.
Burnett telegraphed Byrnes. Aug. 26th,
as follows: The Colorado militia under Ma.
jor Leslie, with some cowboys, surprised
Colorow's camp at six o'clock yesterday fore
noon, having assured Colorow the day before
that they would be allowed to go back to
their reservation unmolested. The attack
was complete surprise to the Indians. A
child was killed and man and woman were
slightly injured The Indians returned the
fire, killing cowboy and wounding three
others, and mortally wounding three militia
soldiers. We talked with Major Leslie this
forenoon, explaining the situation, and came
to an understanding. He assured me that he
wouldn't cross the reservation line without
orders from the proper authorities. l am
satisfied that my presence prevented serious
fighting and much loss of life.
Interpreter Curtis, and Indians Ungsskel,
Wass, Cavanaugh and may Others, who
want peace if possible, or war to the knife,
think the trouble is over.
Most of the Indians left Immediately to see
you.
DENVER, Aug. 90.
A telegram from Meeker says that infor-
nation has been received that in Thursdays
battle with Colorow FIVE whites were killed
instead Of two killed and four wounded, sew
en- Indians and two squaws killed and five
wounded.
No fighting since Thursday, There are
over six hundred Indians camped within six
miles. The indians are ready to fight on the
least provocation.
The loss of nearly three hundred ponies
and squaws made them wild and ready for
revenge.
Colorow, it is reported, says he can get
cheap young bucks from White River, heap
Uncompahgre, heap Navajo, who are young,
want heap fight; unless white men go back
Colorow send for them"
If he should attack the militia and settlers
it is estimatee that it would take the COM
bined efforts of two thousand regulars to
drive them back to their reservation.
News from Glenwood springs is the swear
ing out of a warrant tor Colorow on a charge
of murder by F. Ii. Swindler.
A courier starts tonight for Sheriff Ken
dali with the warrant. 1t will now be diff
cult to settle matters without the surrender
of Colorow.

DOUBTS ENTERTAINED
As to Judge McCue's Being Appointed
Fish Commissioner.

New YORK, Aug. 90
A dispatch to the World from Washington
says that a report was current Sunday that
the President had decided to order an inves-
tigation of the finances of the fish commits
sion as early as possible.
A we'll informed official is quoted as being
confident of an investigation showing very
loose methods with regard to the adminstra
tion of the finances of the commission. Prof.
Baird was too deeply engrossed in his scien-
tifc Investigations to devote much time to
practical business details of the business.
He cannot see how the Senate can possibly
confirm Judge McCue. The law declares
that the incumbent must be scientist with a
knowledge of the fisheries of the coast. Judge
McCue NAV be able to distinguish between q
cod and founder, but he thinks that is the
extent of his knowledge on the subject.

and W. S. Jackson, two passengers on the
train on the Streaton branch of the Wabash
railroad, W hich was wrecked between Connell
and Manville station, on the ninth instant

its side. They say the cause was said to be
broken rail- but examination shows that
the ties were too rotten to hold the spikes
They also sent piece of rail about twenty
inches long as a sample of rails in use be-
tween Streaton and Fairbury. Its face is
worn down smooth or broken completely off -,
leaving only narrow the part which supports
the tops of the rail for the train to run over.

Gladstone as an Author.

LONDON, Aug. 90.
The Nineteenth Century contains an arti-
Gle by Gladstone entitled Electoral facts OF
1887" He says the general election OF 1886
indicated not conviction but perplexity OF the
country. The results of the recent elections
are equivalent to an improved liberal strength
of % per cent, giving the conservatives the
benefit of all doubts. The new election will
leave the latter in the minority by l03. This
basis is too narrow to allow the expression OF
undue confidence by the liberals, but viewing
the figures in cold blood, the rational tory or
dissident will probably regard them as of
marked significance. They may even begin
to inquire in . reflective temper, "Where ID
all this to end"

father John Waterside, at Smiley, near here,
died yesterday from the effects Of the cruel
treatment it had received. Waterside and
his wife took special delight in manning the
child, and finally the surgeons had to ampu
tate one arm and limb, and for weeks after
it should have had medical aid. For two
weeks after the operation was performed, the
mother would tie the little cripple to bed
stead and and leave it there for hours with
out nursing, although the child was scream
ing with hunger. Watersde is in Jail and
there is danger of lynching. The police are
hunting for the woman.
